is using Japan as a foil to pressure both
North Korea and China with the threat of a military response that could result in a great tragedy, according to Professor Dennis Etler, an American political analyst who has a decades-long interest in international affairs.Etler, a professor of Anthropology at Cabrillo College in Aptos, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, made the remarks in an interview with Press TV on Friday while commenting on a statement of Trump about North Korea.
On Friday, Trump assured Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe that the question of North Korea "will be solved," ahead of a G7 summit that will discuss a series of missile tests carried out by Pyongyang.
"We will be discussing many things including of course North Korea which is very much on our minds," Trump said in the Italian town of Taormina where he held a meeting with Abe at the start of the two-day G7 summit.
’US waged genocidal war against North Korea’
Etler said, "When it comes to tensions on the Korean peninsula both the US and Japan have been hoisted by their own petard. Ever since the beginning of the US initiated Cold War against the spread of Communism after WW2, the US has done everything in its power to push back against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (aka North Korea) in order to contain the People’s Republic of China."
"The US at first waged a genocidal war against North Korea in which it leveled the country and killed 20 percent of its population. When it met defeat at the hands of the Korean people and their Chinese allies it refused to sign a peace treaty and ever since has settled for an uneasy truce along the 38th parallel," he said.
"The US and its surrogates in South Korea and Japan have wanted to use the Korean Peninsula as a spearhead directed against China, as Imperial Japan did prior to and during WW2. The North having suffered immensely from the depredations of US imperialism is rightfully consumed with concern for its defenses against any renewed aggression directed against it by the powers that laid waste to it in the past," the analyst said.
